State of Play is a 2009 political thriller which follows a reporter looking into the death of a young woman. Its a film adaptation of a 6 part episode that was shown on BBC One in 2003 and has been condensed into a 2-hour format. Then as the reporter helps to unravel the story, we see that its not a simple murder mystery case as there are many twists. Many well-known stars are cast like Russell Crowe, Ben Affleck and Helen Mirren to pull in more people to watch the film.

The trailer is related to our idea because it relates to the journalists point of view of following a story/case and there are many quotes mentioned in the trailer like 'The newspaper can slant this in any which way they want to' and 'Good reporters don't have friends, only sources' suggesting that newspapers tend to exaggerate the truth of what really happens. It can result in a conflict in which the reporter has to decide between doing whats best for the newspaper or whats best for the case.

The film is related to crime because in the first few scenes the audience see someone firing two shots from a gun to something on the floor but the camera doesn't show it. Then the crime scene is shown with the police cars and journalists which help build the picture that its a murder mystery.

This shows very good knowledge of the media aspects. It also relates to our movie genre idea which is crime so in my opinion this description can develop our ideas more.
